FAILURES AND MAINTENANCE
Due to the depth of information required to adequately describe the
failures and maintenance system, we are giving this topic its own space in
the manual.
For users who do not wish to interact with the potential for mechanical
failure in their simming experience, you can simply skip over this section.
The mechanical reliability of your PMDG 737 is set to “perfect” by default.
If you wish to experience the potential for mechanical failures, there are
currently three ways in which you can challenge yourself:
1. RANDOM: When you activate random failures, you will have the
opportunity to set the rate of random failures while also setting
limits on the total number of events that may be triggered. This
method will allow you to challenge yourself and your airplane
knowledge while also setting limits on the number of times that a
failure will be triggered during the scope period.
2. SERVICE BASED FAILURES: When you activate service based
failures, you will experience mechanical reliability that closely
approximates the mechanical reliability of the airplane in normal
service operation. Each mechanical system aboard the airplane
has been programmed to operate using a “Mean Time Before
Failure” (MTBF) model to determine if/when a component may
fail. The MTBF data is compiled from industry experience with the
737 airplane type, and augmented to make the data compliant
with the expected utilization rate of this simulation product.
3. Programmed Failures: We have provided you with the ability to
set programmed failures for individual sub-systems. You can
immediately trigger a specific system failure by choosing it from a
list, or you can tell the system to randomly select a failure from
within that system.
